Small fire damages porch on mobile home in Rochester

ROCHESTER — Rochester fire officials report a small blaze extinguished early Thursday morning in the Chestnut Hill Mobile Park has been ruled undetermined following an investigation.

Fire Marshal Dominick Bellio said officials were called to 28 River View Drive at 2:37 a.m. for reports of a mobile home fully involved in flames. Mutual aid was called in but later called off when the Rochester Fire Department found a small working fire on the exterior of the structure.

Foul play is not suspected at this time.

Bellio estimated there is approximately $5,000 of damage to the exterior of the mobile home, with much of the porch damaged. Nearby leaves were also on fire, which made the structure appear to be engulfed, he said. Bellio also noted the family was not displaced by the incident.

The fire department responded with two engines and a tanker with several firefighters on scene. Damage was found on the exterior of the structure and the porch as well as grass in the area.
